Revisiting the truncated lamin A produced by a commonly used strain of Lmna knockout mice
The Lmna knockout mouse (Lmna–/–) created by Sullivan and coworkers in 1999 has been widely used to examine lamin A/C function. The knockout allele contains a deletion of Lmna intron 7–exon 11 sequences and was reported to be a null allele.

Association of obstetrics and foetal ultrasound parameters with maternal serum Lamin A: A teaching institution-based cross-sectional study [PDF]
Introduction: Ultrasound imaging is commonly used during pregnancy to detect potential foetal anomalies. Lamin A (LMNA), a nuclear envelope protein, has been identified as a potential biomarker for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes.

UBC9-mediated regulation of K144 ubiquitination of Lamin A and its implications for hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal malignancy with limited treatment options. UBC9, the sole E2 conjugating enzyme in the SUMOylation pathway, is frequently overexpressed in HCC, yet its specific role in hepatocarcinogenesis remains ...

Cardiomyocyte-specific expression of lamin a improves cardiac function in Lmna-/- mice. [PDF]
Lmna(-/-) mice display multiple tissue defects and die by 6-8 weeks of age reportedly from dilated cardiomyopathy with associated conduction defects. We sought to determine whether restoration of lamin A in cardiomyocytes improves cardiac function and ...

Cardiomyocyte Proliferative Capacity Is Restricted in Mice With Lmna Mutation
LMNA is one of the leading causative genes of genetically inherited dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Unlike most DCM-causative genes, which encode sarcomeric or sarcomere-related proteins, LMNA encodes nuclear envelope proteins, lamin A and C, and does not ...

Identification of Genes and Pathways Regulated by Lamin A in Heart
Background Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding LMNA (lamin A/C), causes distinct disorders, including dilated cardiomyopathies, collectively referred to as laminopathies. The genes (coding and noncoding) and regulatory pathways controlled by LMNA in the
